Gday Ian Castle here, your Aussie Vocal Coach and this is the 2022 Daily Vocal Workout for Altos.
The 6 exercises in this workout are designed to get your air moving, encourage vocal cord closure, develop and strengthen your vocal range and improve your agility and pitch. This version of the workout has the piano notes with no background beats. If you would prefer to hear some beats to add energy and help with timing click on the link above.

Use the breaks between exercises to have a sip of water and release any tension. Let's get started.
Exercise 1 VA
1111123454321
This exercise targets your onset of sound, the balance and coordination of your air and vocal cords. We will sing 4 detached notes followed by a sustained scale. Take a short breath between each of the detached notes to engage your diaphragm.
Exercise 2 Mi Eh Ah
1353454321
This exercise will focus on your chest and lower mixed voice. The goal of this exercise is to develop a fullness of tone in your lower range. As you ascend in pitch you will need to lift your soft palette, the fleshy bit at the back of your throat, to make the transition into lower mixed voice easier.
Exercise 3 OO
18876543231
This exercise will focus on the connection between your head and mixed voice. You will sing a large interval, an octave, from chest voice to head voice and descend back down through your mixed voice range. Make sure you support your voice from your diaphragm on the descent to create back pressure behind your vocal cords. This will help to iron out any annoying breaks.
Exercise 4 IEAOUOAEI
1324354653421
This exercise is a bit of a tongue twister and is designed to improve the agility of your articulators, your jaw, lips and tongue. Aim for a sustained vocal tone. Imagine a steady flow of air from your lower lungs to a point on the wall. Your goal is to place the individual notes on the air as it leaves your mouth.
Exercise 5 LA LA LE LI
135853123454321
This exercise features a combination of different note lengths. This will help to develop a sustained vocal tone and agility through a large range. Some horizontal arm movements will help you to ascend and sustain the highest note of each phrase.
Exercise 6 MUM
Round Scale
This exercise is called the round scale. It covers a large vocal range and will require you to sing with efficient breath control and placement. We will repeat each starting pitch 3 times to give you time to gain confidence in the notes. If the exercise becomes too high or difficult please stop and wait for it to return to a comfortable pitch.

I can't thank you enough for all of these exercises that you post for us! The improvement in my vocal skills are insane. Everyone that listens to me sing notices as well. I am forever grateful to you! I'm always excited when I see you have posted a new video, especially the alto ones as the others are way out of my range most of the time! You are the best 🤗

[@madeleinefrancis1602]

Just have to say these longer workouts specified to each range are great! Not something I'm finding much on other channels.

Thanks

I love your channel since discovering it in 2018❤.....Could you please do a warm up and vocal workout specifically for people who do musical theater.

[@nagagab9224]

THANKS...GREAT VIDEOS!!!! I am mezzosoprano and soprano- very thick voice (so dee, gutoral and large sound is healthy or my vocal chords- sometimes mezzo is easier to start with for me) - depends on the vocal chords-mood, which warm up is better for my voice

[@sentimentalfriend1]

Do you have any exercises for harmonising and keeping pitch and placement for that? I have noticed improvement in my voice in just a couple of weeks. Today I realised I have gained an extra note in head voice so that’s a win.

[@MaryTere]

Awesome! I've been waiting for the Alto version :D

[@marystellachikezie8008]

Dope

[@yanisperret1171]

Thank you from France !
May I Ask you if one you could do a 4 octaves workout with C2 to C6 ? :-)

[@barbaraalauro]

Thanks ever so!!! I have a question, the lowest note of the Exercise 5 sounds a little airy for me, is that ok?
I'm I a under educated Alto or a lazy mezzo?
